      uhm, this isn't note for note. 3:25 has some ride action on the album, but that's the only thing i found, and IMO just open hihats are better than ride-hihat-switching.
      but i do not understand these 20 dislikes either.

    Alex is a bit of an oddity for me. I'm not really a fan of about 90% of the music he plays but I'm still absolutely enthralled by his playing. I seen most of the videos he posts, and will continue to watch him whatever he posts. His talent and hard work shine through in his playing and something I'll always appreciate.
